Alexander Wang Takes Show on The Road

The downtown designer is going all the way to Brooklyn for Fall 2014.

Alexander Wang is moving to Brooklyn—his Fall 2014 show, anyway. The designer associated with all things downtown is taking that rep even further next season—all the way to the Duggal Greenhouse at 63 Ship Ways Avenue in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Wang historically has shown at Manhattan's Pier 94. "We found this incredible space, and it corresponds very well to this season's creative concept," the designer told WWD via email. The show will take place on Feb. 8 at 8:30PM, as opposed to 5PM, his regular slot—a swap with designer, and close friend of Wang, Joseph Altuzarra.

The shipyard is apparently a 15-minute walk from the A and C trains at High Street and the F train at York Street, so car services and Uber will most likely be necessary—except for the very bold and flats-oriented. The move signifies the industry power Wang enjoys and the buzzy rep of New York's cool kid borough. Although, there are many who can only be convinced to head to Brooklyn for birthday parties of their very best friends, brownstone house warmings of their very best friends—and Alexander Wang runway shows, apparently.
